Foodbuzz is proud to be the only online community with content created by food bloggers and rated by foodies, offering over 20,000 pieces of new food and dining content weekly. Members can vote for their favorite pieces of content (recipes, photos, blog posts, videos, restaurant reviews) by “buzzing” them up to the top of the daily menu of submissions. In addition it is the home of the inaugural 24 Meals, 24 Hours, 24 Blogs event—which aims to showcase 24 Featured Publisher blog posts around the globe in a 24-hour period. This is a monthly event that kicked off in September of last year. The event captures the quality and unique local perspective of food bloggers and shares them with the world. The event illustrates exactly what the future of food publishing is all about—"real food, experienced by real people, shared real-time.”

One of the sponsors of Foodbuzz is Earthbound Farms . They have some delicious recipes to offer including this one for Caesar Salad. This uses a slightly spicier, eggless dressing version of this classic topped with crispy Parmesan "chips". I also threw in some bacon for good measure.

Grease a cookie sheet. Lay Parmesan in thin 3" circles. Bake 5 minutes in 350 F oven. The Parmesan will crisp up as it cools.

Croutons:

Toss the bread in melted butter and garlic; toast in oven until golden.

Eggless Spicy Caesar Dressing:

Blend all dressing ingredients in a food processor. Season to taste. Toss romaine with dressing. Spread sourdough croutons over the lettuce, and place the Parmesan chips on top. Add more anchovies if desired.

When reading your post I was afraid the Parmesan Chips would be fried .. and I have, long ago, removed from my diet deep fried anything. And I love the idea of baking cheese flakes! I have to try this!

Far out Val...& too yummy. I love the eggless dressing, as much as I love Foodbuzz. BTW, my precious thyme plants are now beginning to sprout tiny leaves. Can't wait to try the chciken you posted earlier!

Caesar is one of my all-time favourite classic dishes and I *love* the parmesan crisps! In CHicago I had a Caesar that was basically served in a parmesan crisp basket which was wonderful. And woo hoo, let's hear it for Foodbuzz - I've just participated in my first 24,24,24! Quite pressurized but great fun.

My blog More Than Burnt Toast has been my passion for almost 12 years and has evolved with me over time as I have gained confidence in the kitchen. Follow my travels through Italy and Greece one recipe at a time, upcoming cooking classes at local Okanagan wineries and restaurants, as well as daily experimentation in my own kitchen. Every day we should be excited about what we are eating even if it just means making use of a wonderful find at our local farmers market. I look forward to getting to know you.
